34 Cry about it, bitch.

Vaan was satisfied.

These past two hours, his learning efficiency had been so high that he felt like in just these 2 hours, the progress he made was comparable to all the progress he made since he had come to this world.

They didn't just create different shapes or practice magic shooting, Elara also taught him other different spells like [Burn], [Burst], [Fireworks], [Fire with no heat]. Individually, these Spells were useless, however, Elara mentioned that these spells would be useful when Vaan becomes 2nd Circle Mage. Not to mention using Fire in all these creative ways improved Vaan's Magic Control.

Anyways, it wasn't just Vaan who was satisfied by today's gains.

Elara was the same as well.

Although she did not gain any useful Magic knowledge that could help her, for her, this session was far more precious.

Spending these 2 hours with Vaan, honestly, she didn't even realize how quickly the time passed.

Practicing and exploring Magic with Vaan as they talked and giggled together, she usually dreamt about these situations, but with how the previous Vaan pushed her away and hated studying magic, she thought it was impossible.

Today, however, she finally got to live her dream.

A dream that was even more satisfying than her actual dreams.

Honestly, there was still a seed of uncertainty in Elara's heart, Vaan's sudden change, it was too surprising and she was still scared that all of this might be a prank to fool with her.

She couldn't trust Vaan that easily no matter how hard she tried.

However, whenever these doubts ate her away, she glanced at Vaan and seeing that genuine smile on his face as he experimented with the magic and how he smiled kindly whenever he looked at her... Elara felt a little secure...

It was a conflicting feeling where her heart felt at ease when she glanced at Vaan but soon her brain starts imagining all these different scenarios where Vaan emotionally abuses her and laughs at her for falling for his act... just thinking about that scenario twisted Elara's heart in pain.

Soon, however, Elara shook her head as she bury these feelings in her heart and put on a smile on her face.

Vaan smiled as well.

With smiles on their faces, the two came out of the Magic Training Room, however, what greeted them was the sight of Mages looking at them with side eyes as they whispered amongst themselves.

"Isn't that the Waste? Why is he here?"

"Yes, isn't he just a 1st Circle Mage, who allowed him to come here?"

"Was it that Flameheart? She should be grateful that the Vesta Family even allowed her to use its facility but she dares to break the rules and bring that waste here?"

"Does she really think that just because she is Lady Astra's Pupil, she could get away with anything?"

"I will raise an official complaint."

"I will support you as well."

The whispers continued and Elara, who heard all of them lowered her head, but then,

Vaan grabbed her hand.

She looked into Vaan's eyes and saw him smiling at her, a small smile appeared on Elara's face.

Her heart calmed down.

Just as she thought, if she was with Vaan, other people didn't matter.

Seeing that she was alright, Vaan decided to walk away.

These people were only whispering amongst themselves, so causing a scene here would be problematic, right now, the best solution was to walk away.

However, just as Vaan and Elara were about to walk away, a Mage stepped in front of them.

"Oi, why are you here?"

The Mage questioned.

Vaan paused.

"I am asking you, waste.

Why are you here?

Don't you know that only the 3rd Circle Mages of above are allowed to be here?

Give me a proper reason, or else it won't end up well for you."

The Mage spoke in an authoritative tone.

Vaan's mouth twitched.

He was already weak in the patience department to begin with, he was actually proud of himself for smartly deciding to walk away.

He felt like he was improving but,

'This little bitch just had to ruin it.'

Vaan cursed inwardly as he glanced at the Mage in front of him with an annoyed look on his face.

"Don't give me that look. I am not your servant.

Do you think I won't act on my words just because you are Lady Astra's son?" The Mage glared at Vaan.

Vaan's last string of reason finally broke off.

He rubbed the back of his neck and then, he turned towards his fiancé,

"Elara, do you know who he is?"

Elara glanced at the mage and with a timid look on her face, then she shook her head.

A big smile appeared on Vaan's face,

"Heh? Even a nobody dares to interrogate me, huh? I have really fallen, haven't I?"

"What? Did you just call me a nobody?" The mage's eyes shrunk.

"Is that not who you are?" Vaan, however, was not intimidated.

Seeing this, the mage was taken aback.

Obviously, it was not his first time dealing with Vaan, he had met him before, at first, he felt a little intimidated since Vaan was the son of Lady Astra and was known for lashing out at his servants, however, other senior mages who he had sucked up to just laughed when they heard his worries and took him to Vaan.

That day, he learned something.

Vaan would only act up if you allow him to, if you go up to him and order him around with an intimidating look on your face, he would whimper like a little child.

He was a prime example of a pushover, a natural wimp.

Since then, whenever the Mage saw Vaan, he always lashed out, since Vaan reciprocated well, he often let his frustration out on him.

Honestly, the Mage was actually surprised that Vaan didn't start whimpering the moment he saw him like he used to.

Then the mage saw him holding Elara's hand and realized,

'Is he acting like that because he is with his girl? That Flameheart is his finance, isn't she? I heard they weren't close but I guess that was a false rumor.

Heh, this will be fun.'

The Mage laughed inwardly.

Then, he walked towards Vaan and,

"Waste, do you really think you can ge-Bhlbbh!!"

Before the mage could his sentence, Vaan punched his face.

"You really are daring, arencha?" Vaan spoke as he cracked his fist with a big smile on his face.

"You dar-Guuaaahhh!!"

The mage was about to retort, however, Vaan simply stepped forward and landed an uppercut.

The punch was so well connected that the Mage was stunned for a moment, his body lost its strength and he fell down.

And that was not it.

"Khwaaakk!!"

The Mage coughed out blood. Not just blood, but a small part of something fleshy fell from his mouth as well.

It was his tongue.

The uppercut was too sudden.

The mage's body trembled in rage and agony, the blood coming out of his mouth wasn't stopping, he glared at Vaan with so much hatred that his eyes turned red.

"I'll kwill you!!"

The mage screamed as his eyes shined and the Mana around him rushed into his body.

3 Magic Circles formed around him but then,

*Bam*

Vaan simply kicked his face, interrupting the spell.

"You coward!"

"Cry about it, bitch."

Vaan spoke with a wide smile on his face as he stomped on the Mage's face with everything he had. The Mage tried to defend it with his hands, but the position he was in was too disadvantageous,

Barrage of kicks and stomps, the mage could only take it lying on down.

While the rest of the mages and Elara saw the entire scene play out with horrified looks on their faces.
